An ant travels 2.78 cm [W] and then turns and travels 6.25 cm [S 40 degrees E]. What is the ant's total displacement?

Lorenzo is making a prediction. “I learned that nonmetals increase in reactivity when moving from left to right. So I predict th

nadezda [96]

That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.

The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.

Imagine that a small boy and his much larger father are enjoying a winter morning, sliding along the ice on a nearby playground.

kramer

You can write an hypothesis such as this:
The weight of an object has effects on the operating frictional force, the greater the weight, the higher the operating frictional force.
The father is the one with the higher weight while the son has the lower weight. The operating frictional force is the friction that their weights exert.

Strong winds can destroy or prevent temperature inversion from forming. which city, des moines, iowa or denver, colorado is more

Paul [167]

Answer: DENVER, COLORADO

Explanation: Temperature inversion is the term used to describe the increase in temperature as the height increases towards the Toposphere, Temperature inversion is a reverse of the normal temperature flow or distribution in the atmosphere.

Denver, Colorado has been known to be one of the Cities of the World where temperature inversion occurs frequently. The TOPOGRAPHY of Denver, Colorado makes it prone to temperature inversion, Denver, Colorado is located at the foot of mountains.

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The total distance traveled is 28 inches.
The displacement is 2 inches to the east.

Explanation:

Lets put a frame of reference in the problem. Starting the frame of reference at the point with the 0-inch mark, and making the unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing in the west direction, the ant start at position

$\vec{r}_0 = 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

Then, moves to

$\vec{r}_1 = 29 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

so, the distance traveled here is

$d_1 = |\vec{r}_1 - \vec{r}_0 | = | 29 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_1 = | 13 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_1 = 13 \ inch$

after this, the ant travels to

$\vec{r}_2 = 14 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

so, the distance traveled here is

$d_2 = |\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1 | = | 14 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 29 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_2 = | - 15 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_2 = 15 \ inch$

The total distance traveled will be:

$d_1 + d_2 = 13 \ inch + 15 \ inch = 28 \ inch$

The displacement is the final position vector minus the initial position vector:

$\vec{D}=\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1$

$\vec{D}= 14 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

$\vec{D}= - 2 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

This is 2 inches to the east.
